Description
The Stigma® Force is the result of countless hours of engineering, developing and testing, a truly remarkable pen machine that’s here to shake the industry. Featuring a state of the art and unique dual-drive system, the Force is equipped with a custom Faulhaber brushless motor utilizing a dual cam mechanism for isometric operation and more robustness, making the machine maintenance-free but still more than capable of providing many hours of non-stop runtime each day.
As a wireless pen machine, it comes with a high-end removable power pack which features a built-in display, button controls and a USB – C port for charging and pass-through operation (charging while working). You can customize and save presets to quickly swap between different voltage and give/boost settings but you can also adjust these parameters at any given time to make your work more efficient such as voltage, digital give & boost and motion control. The battery can last up to 10 hours on a single charge (depends on many factors such as voltage, cartridge needle configuration etc.).
There are three different versions available, a 2.8 mm stroke length which is perfect for shading work, a 3.7 mm stroke length as a powerful allrounder and a 4.5 mm stroke length ideal for bold lining or color packing. Like all our pen machines, the Force can be used with cartridges of all major brands thanks to the interchangeable cartridge receivers.
With the new “digital give & boost” feature, the motor as a default runs in constant mode which means the stitching speed is not affected by the skin’s resistance. Enabling give will allow the machine to respond to the skin’s resistance and become softer. By choosing between 3 levels of give you can adjust the sensitivity and softness. Enabling boost on the other hand will allow the machine to run without dropping the stitching speed but it will respond to the skin’s resistance and become punchier and faster on difficult areas to ensure optimal results.
With “motion control” you can simply adjust the voltage really fast just by rotating the device. To enable it, hold the power button while the motor is running, then voltage is set based on the positioning, when the front (needle) points up the voltage is at its peak, 11 V, and when the front points down the voltage goes as low as 4 V. Of course, you can set it anywhere in between just by stopping the rotation where it feels right. Same goes for left- or right-hand artists.
The power pack is Bluetooth enabled which allows you to pair your machine directly with the Stigma Pilot Footswitch or the Stigma mobile app for iOS and Android (more info soon) to unlock even more features.
The ergonomic design makes it one of the most comfortable pen machines out there. The vibration and noise are minimal while the shape of the machine allows you to hold it and work with it for many hours.
The Force, as well as all the other Stigma® machines, is designed and assembled in Europe ensuring only the best parts are being used and top-notch quality control.

Great machine so far. Really love the wireless power supply and the boost/give modes. Don’t really use the “motion” speed control, but I suppose it is a bonus for people who enjoy adjusting speeds with motion as opposed to button pressing. Machine is light weight and small, even with the power supply. If using a wired power supply the machine is only a few inches in length. Great machine, very versatile. Can be used for lining, shading, and color packing. This machine will be my main tattoo machine for many years to come.

Amazing machine! Soft on the skin but still powerful. 4.5 mm stroke is great for lining and dotwork. Highly recommend!
